sea4th Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Chuck, the younger rescue dog, while he continues to be an otherwise nice dog, his cat killing tendencies surfaced yesterday when he attacked one of my friend's (his foster) cats and left a couple of puncture wounds. This is a little disappointing, but I don't think its a setback --- just narrows his possibilities of potential homes. In the meantime, the old guy, Bob, has perked up, loves to eat and his coat is coming in nicely and he is actually ambulatory to the point of trotting occasionally ---- and he seems happy.

Sorry to hear about Chuck and his escapades. Poor kitty. But good to hear about happy Bob However, m.u.s.t. s.e.e. p.i.c.s. Ailsa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doggietrio Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I agree, just limit Chuck's homes and make sure, even if the new owners don't have cats that they are aware. My middle Aussie is a cat (rat, small fuzzy thing) killer. Funny thing (not, ha ha, funny - odd funny) is that he leaves my cats alone and will only go after the strays. While some folks might not appreciate that, it keeps our property free from unwanted numbers of cats (my neighbors have about a billion barn cats and will not spay/neuter them). We've already "adopted" two (ie, they came, ate, and won't leave, so we spayed/neutered and vetted them) from their massive numbers (which my dog leaves those new additions alone). When we first moved in, the stray cats were a real problem, and my 12 year old cat just couldn't compete with the strays at feeding time. Now, we almost never see them anymore and my old cat is much happier. Good luck, Jennifer Akins Trowbridge, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
